With the app market growing insanely, there is much more scope for newer apps to succeed. Well, it seems that the utility app development market, too, will see a boom soon.

In her book Meaning in Life and Why it Matters (2010), the US philosopher Susan Wolf has argued, against Taylor, that even if Sisyphus is feeling fulfilled, owing to the nature of the activity in which he is engaged, his feeling fulfilled is not reasonable. She argues that the object of an agent’s feeling of fulfilment is represented in the mind of the agent as being something that is objectively good. In the case of Sisyphus, even if he is fulfilled, he misrepresents the source of his fulfilment as good. So Wolf argues that the meaningfulness of an activity or goal is a function not only of one’s being fulfilled in engaging in it/pursuing it, but the feeling of fulfilment also needs to be a fitting response to the activity or goal. And it is only a fitting response if the activity or goal is objectively pursuit-worthy. What would render an activity or goal objectively pursuit-worthy? Objective pursuit-worthiness is in part owing to the value of the end or activity coming from outside of oneself. Wolf admits that determining objective pursuit-worthiness is not easy, and involves a process of discovery. A possibility not explicitly endorsed by Wolf (but not rejected by her, either) is that an activity or goal is objectively pursuit-worthy if engaging in that activity is conducive to the cultivation of virtues. My suggestion is that, so long as an activity is generally conducive to developing character traits and intellectual traits that will enhance and not impede the flourishing of both an agent and those with whom they interact, it is objectively pursuit-worthy.

Determine if the string's length is greater than num. Return the string truncated to the desired length, with '...' appended to the end of the original string. Copyconst ellipsis = (str: string, num: number = str.length, ellipsisStr = "...") => str.length >= num ? str.slice(0, num >= ellipsisStr.length ? num - ellipsisStr.length : num) + ellipsisStr : str;

Check whether a value is defined (non-nullable), meaning it is neither `null` or `undefined`. This can be useful as a type guard, as for example, `[1, null].filter(Boolean)` does not always type-guard correctly.

import {isDefined} from 'ts-extras'; [1, null, 2, undefined].filter(isDefined); //=> [1, 2]

export type Simplify<T> = {[KeyType in keyof T]: T[KeyType]};

function applyDefaults(fetchFn: typeof fetch, defaults: Required<Parameters<typeof fetch>[1]>)

In rare cases, the underlying types aren't exposed from the library. What shall we do then? Maybe we could also use the typeof operator here too and combine it with a TypeScript's built-in type Parameters. Parameters becomes useful whenever you want to extract the type of parameters from a function type:

The problem is, algorithms were never designed to handle such tough choices. They are built to pursue a single mathematical goal, such as maximizing the number of soldiers’ lives saved or minimizing the number of civilian deaths. When you start dealing with multiple, often competing, objectives or try to account for intangibles like “freedom” and “well-being,” a satisfactory mathematical solution doesn’t always exist.

This is not to say that I don’t also cherish more traditionally precious heirlooms, it’s just that the objects with utility feel like they maybe have more of the life of the person in them.

Before the launch of the platform, the entity issues the tokens at a certain price and uses the proceeds of the sale as an alternative funding to finance the platform development (Chuen et al. 2017; Ehrsam 2016a). The issuing entity promotes the token sale with the prospect of an increase of the token value.

The entity behind the platforms issues its own blockchain-enabled token (Bachmann et al. 2019; Fridgen et al. 2018; Lee et al. 2018). So far, various token designs enable different applications. One token type is the “utility token”, which represents the right to access the offered products or services on the platform (ICOscoring 2018). In the blockchain context, we refer to this representation as tokenization (Dale 2018).

I used it to create a full-bleed utility class: .full-bleed { width: 100vw; margin-left: calc(50% - 50vw); }

I think most social networks, if they've made this journey, need to make a return to utility to be truly durable.

// Partial: [P in keyof T], could be read as a function T => [P in keyof T] // Pick: [P in K], could be read as a function K => [P in K]

"Fix" is to use Pick2: type Pick2<T> = T extends T ? Pick<T> : never

type KeysOfType<A extends object, B extends { [key: string]: any }> = { [K in keyof A]: A[K] extends B ? string extends keyof A[K] ? K : never : never; }[keyof A];

type KeysOfType<A extends object, B> = { [K in keyof A]-?: A[K] extends B ? K : never; }[keyof A];

type TagWithKey<TagName extends string, T> = { [K in keyof T]: { [_ in TagName]: K } & T[K] };

type Unionize<T> = T[keyof T]; type MyActions = Unionize<ActionTable>;

Exclude<string | number | (() => void), Function>

The most important justification for progressive tax rates is the idea of marginal utility.

treat of relative goodness and relative utility.

Now the political or deliberative orator's aim is utility: deliberation seeks to determine not ends but the means to ends, i.e. what it is most useful to do. Further, utility is a good thing.
